Mike AI

Microsoft 365 setup

Know what works now and what your firm needs to configure.

Start with a reviewed Word output pack, then decide whether selected SharePoint or OneDrive folders and the controlled Outlook add-in should be enabled. Direct document management system connections remain planned.

Connecting Microsoft 365 is optional and controlled by the firm. Mike AI does not receive organisation-wide access, read every mailbox or send client email as part of standard setup.

Option 1 · Matter reviewer

Reviewed Word output pack

Download a Word-ready pack that carries review status, source references and clear warnings for unresolved items.

Available

What the firm needs to decide

  • Choose the matter and output pack in Mike AI.
  • Resolve or acknowledge any review warnings before external use.
  • A reviewer approves the final version before it leaves the firm.

Protections

  • Unresolved higher-risk items keep the output locked.
  • The pack records its reviewer and version.
  • Downloading a DOCX file does not require Microsoft 365 access.

Option 2 · Firm administrator

Selected SharePoint or OneDrive folders

Keep matter documents in firm-owned Microsoft storage while allowing Mike AI to use only the folders the firm selects.

Requires firm setup

What the firm needs to decide

  • The firm chooses the workspace, practice area and folders in scope.
  • An authorised administrator approves access for the selected sources.
  • The firm confirms who may use those sources inside Mike AI.

Protections

  • Access is limited to firm-selected sources and authorised users.
  • Private document bodies are not retained by Mike AI by default.
  • The firm can remove source access without changing its document filing structure.

Option 3 · Firm administrator and matter reviewer

Outlook-assisted evidence intake

Select a received email, link bounded metadata to a matter and place it into firm review without storing its body or sending a message.

Requires firm setup

What the firm needs to decide

  • A firm administrator approves and assigns the Outlook add-in to the intended users.
  • Each user signs in through the tenant-scoped Office host and selects individual messages.
  • The firm confirms the reviewer path for quarantined references.

Protections

  • Only hashes, sender domain, received time and matter/source references are recorded.
  • Mailbox-wide reading, message-body storage and client email sending are not enabled.
  • Selected evidence remains subject to matter access and reviewer controls.

Option 4 · Firm IT and information governance

iManage and NetDocuments connections

Direct connections to iManage and NetDocuments are not currently available.

Planned

What the firm needs to decide

  • Any future connection would require firm approval and a defined document scope.
  • Access, retention and removal responsibilities would be agreed before use.
  • No delivery date is committed on this page.

Protections

  • Planned capabilities are not sold or presented as available.
  • Existing document permissions would remain authoritative.
  • No document write-back would be enabled without separate firm approval.

A firm-controlled route to Microsoft 365

Start with the available Word output. Connect selected Microsoft folders only when the firm is ready and the right people have approved access.

Use a reviewed Word output pack without connecting Microsoft 365.
Ask a firm administrator to select the SharePoint or OneDrive folders that may be used.
Confirm access, retention and reviewer responsibilities before connecting firm documents.
